Zenzic Capital a real estate credit and special situations investment firm, and Jensco Group, a real estate investment firm with specialism in the UK residential sector, have formed a joint venture to invest in purpose-built single-family homes across the UK.

Their first move is to forward fund an initial 125 homes from house-builder Vistry.

The platform has been seeded with an initial 拢31m investment to support the delivery of new homes at Vistry鈥檚 Great Haddon scheme in Peterborough. Construction is expected to start later this year.

鈥淔orward funding arrangements like this accelerate delivery and provide professionally managed, long term homes that meet strong local demand in areas like Peterborough,鈥� said Vistry regional chair James Warrington. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great example of how our partnership model helps create thriving places while raising the bar on quality and energy performance.鈥�

The Zenzic-Jensco joint venture aims to scale to a portfolio of approximately 1,000 homes.

Zenzic Capital chief executive Nadine Buckland said: 鈥淭his investment reflects our conviction in structurally undersupplied residential markets where institutional capital can support the delivery of high-quality, professionally managed homes. The UK single-family housing sector is at an early but compelling stage of evolution, underpinned by long-term demographic trends, affordability pressures and increasing demand for rental housing that meets institutional standards.

聽鈥淥ur focus is on partnering with experienced operators to build scalable platforms with strong asset quality, disciplined capital deployment and a clear emphasis on the end customer. We see significant opportunity to grow this platform over time and look forward to working closely with Jensco to originate further investments and expand the portfolio in a controlled and selective manner.鈥�

Jensco chief executive Nigel Bobroff added: 鈥淚nstitutional interest in single-family rental housing continues to grow, reflecting the sector鈥檚 strong fundamentals and its ability to provide high-quality, professionally managed homes for families seeking long-term stability. This investment supports the delivery of highly sustainable homes in great locations, where demand is deep and supply remains constrained.

鈥淲orking alongside and investing with Zenzic, our focus is on building a long-term, institutional-grade portfolio, partnering with established housebuilders. We are delighted to be working with Vistry to bring forward well-designed homes that meet the needs of modern renters as the sector continues to mature.鈥�
